Xiao Min turned her head to glance at her younger brother beside her. This had become her habit, but now there were no longer the initial cries and screams, nor the subsequent pity and hatred. Now, she was left with nothing but numbness and despair.
Both she and her brother were evolvers, and they were even quite "powerful" evolvers—both four-star! However, they were also being raised like "meat pigs." The difference between the siblings was that her brother had lost all his limbs, while she was still a complete human. What they shared in common was that they could only lie in bed, completely powerless, even needing someone to feed them.
In Xiao Min's memory, ever since she was captured by that group of people dressed in black, she had remained in this state. Apart from eating and sleeping, there was only one other thing: injections—one that rendered her completely weak and limp, and another that was the Evolution Potion which she was injected with at intervals.
Although she was a four-star evolver, she was merely that—no profession, no skills, not even clothes on her body, let alone equipment. She learned all these from the conversations of those beasts who mistreated her. The only reason she was not mutilated like her brother was that she was a woman, and a beautiful one at that. Besides being fed, her existence served other purposes...
Those purposes made her wish for death every moment!
Despite her helplessness, her physique as a four-star evolver was still very good, giving those beasts an unrestrained reason to vent their frustrations on her every day. Xiao Min wanted to bite them to death but lacked the strength; she wanted to commit suicide but also lacked the power to do so.
Ever since she learned what her and her brother's final fate would be, she had been hoping for that moment to arrive every day. She had never anticipated anything this much before, even if that meant being devoured by mutated creatures to let them evolve...
Thus, she spent day after day in this place, her only comfort and greatest torment being the sight of her brother, who had lost his sanity and limbs, lying beside her like a dull-witted, limb-less being.
Xiao Min thought today would be yet another nightmare of a day, until the door was violently slammed open...

Ye Zhongming arrived on the seventh floor and found that it had already been transformed. One side, except for the load-bearing wall, had been completely opened up, with rows of metal cages neatly arranged inside. Each cage held groups of zombie corpses, of all levels, from the lowest to the highest, level five.
But these zombies were all confined to the ground, each with a bloody hole in their foreheads. However, judging by their positions, they didn't seem to have been killed in a struggle, but rather had their magic crystals extracted while they were in an unconscious state.
Ye Zhongming knew more about the zero commerce association than others. In fact, these zombies could be considered a type of meat pig. The zero commerce association basically captured survivors everywhere. Most of those who had not been injected with the immunity potion turned into zombies. Among the remaining people, some were used to feed them, allowing these zombies to evolve. When necessary, the zero commerce association would kill these controlled zombies to obtain magic crystals.
A small portion was imprisoned, mostly women, who would be injected with the Evolution Potion repeatedly, gradually increasing their evolution level, and then at the appropriate time, they would be used to feed higher-level zombies or mutated plants and animals, becoming their evolution fodder.
Before being used for feeding, they were the "toys" of the zero commerce association.
For survivors in Ying City to label others as beasts, it was probably because they discovered such things.
"Boss Ye, look at these!"
The person leading Ye Zhongming brought him to a computer placed at the end of the seventh floor. The entire building had electricity, with the generator located on the top floor.
